About 10 years ago I sold my old C43 and left the three pointed star (I know, I've sinned). Been through a few other cars and also left the UK for CH, but now I'm finally back at the wheel of one.
Picked this up back in May, the car was originally sold in Germany where it also had a trip to Bottrop to give it a bit more oomph before being imported here. It now has 530horses and 775Nm thanks to a Brabus K8 engine tweak, as well as the mandatory wheels and a speedo that reads a bit higher than the original AMG one. Its rather quick off the line, if I can find traction
The rest of the car is pretty standard E55 stuff. Seems to have been very well cared for by the previous owners and now has around 70,000 miles.
Anyway a few pics of it, when I picked it up:
Back home:
Took it for a quick trip here:
I need to find out how close I can get the needle to this 360
And for a bit of nostalgia:
Its good to be back.
